Cowboys score and then do something stupid – again

MINNEAPOLIS – The Cowboys took a 7-0 lead on a Roy Williams’ 15-yard TD pass, but they followed it with yet another excessive celebration penalty.

This time the culprit was Miles Austin, who leaped over Williams.

It was again an incredibly stupid penalty. Wade Phillips should have nipped that nonsense in the bud immediately after the Titans game. This one was made even worse because David Buehler’s kickoff went out of bounds.

The Cowboys forced a punt, but Tony Romo threw an interception to E.J. Henderson after getting hit by Jared Allen. Allen came through untouched, racing past Doug Free.
